About me

What can I say about me. I'm a mother of two beautiful girls (3 years and one of 12 weeks). Beside them I have another addiction. I love to read and loose myself in a world of romance, gorgeous alpha males and absolute love.

When
Major Lucas Stanton inherited his earldom, he never dreamed his property would
include the previous earl’s granddaughter. Phoebe Linville is a sparkling
American beauty, yes, but with a talent for getting into trouble. Witness the
compromising position that forced them into wedlock. Whisked away to Mistletoe
Manor, his country estate, it isn’t long before she is challenging his
rules—and surprising him in and out of bed.

Phoebe has no intention of bowing to Lucas’ stubbornness, even though he offers
all that she wants. His kisses and unexpected warmth are enticing, but Phoebe
is determined to show the Earl of Merritt what real love is all about. And if
that takes twelve nights of delicious seduction by a roaring fire, she’s more
than willing to reveal her gifts very slowly…

His Mistletoe Bride by Vanessa Kelly was a great read,
I always enjoy reading a holiday spirit novel and this one was no exception. I
loved the fact that she used Mistletoe as the manor’s name and that some of the
servants had the surname Christmas.

I’m fortunate to have been given the opportunity to
read this copy of His Mistletoe Bride by this author for an honest review. This
was my first historical novel that I read by Vanessa Kelly and I have to say
that she has a great writing style.

Phoebe Linville travels from America to England to
meet and live with her grandfather from her mother’s side, after both her
parents died. She hopes to finally find the acceptance she desperately craves.
After weeks on the sea she arrives in England only to discover that her
grandfather has passed away too. Will she accept her grandfather’s last wish or
should she return to America alone?

Major Lucas Stanton became the new Lord Merritt when
her grandfather past away, now he feels obligated to make sure the old man’s
last wish concerning his granddaughter will be followed. Luckily the whole
family wants to meet and get to know her and decides to step in.

The chemistry between Lucas and Phoebe was there from
the first moment they met, but it became clear that they both wanted something
different in their relationship. While Phoebe wants love and family, Lucas only
wants Phoebe in his life but at a safe distance with his heart behind the wall
he built. We all know that love and determination of a woman is always
stronger, so Lucas is in for the ride of his life.

I just loved Phoebe’s English family and the way they
accept and welcome Phoebe in their family. The moment they meet her they pull
her in the family circle and embrace her as one of theirs from the start.

Vanessa Kelly has written an amazing holiday
historical romance novel full of great characters, a good holiday season world
building and a fabulous storyline. I’m definitely going to check out her other
historical novels because I know I will have a great time reading them.
